Reaction Steps

To a solution of the 1H-indazol-5-ol (100 mg, 0.745 mmol) obtained in Reference Example 4 in N,N-dimethylformamide (2 ml) were added 1-bromo-4-methylpentane (0.109 ml, 0.745 mmol), tetrabutylammonium iodide (28 mg, 0.1 mmol) and potassium carbonate (103 mg, 0.745 mmol), and the resulting mixture was heated to 60° C. After 9 hours, the mixture was poured into water (20 ml) and extracted with ethyl acetate (20 ml×2). The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure, and the resulting residue was purified by a silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain 5-[(4-methylpentyl)oxy]-1H-indazole (60 mg, 37%).
